5. Recently the Humane Society of the United States has caught retailers who have labeled their fur garments as "faux" when they were actually real. Would this be considered false advertising?

6. Are retail companies allowed to pay under the state minimum wage? If so, for what reason? If not, would they be considered as running a sweatshop?
